I’m planning a 30+ day trip for either September 2026 or April/May 2027, starting in Switzerland and cycling through Germany, Austria, Czechia and Poland. The first on-road leg is from Zurich to Donaueschingen, Germany, then along the trail to Vienna. From there, we’ll bike the back roads to Brno, Olomouc and Ostrava, Czechia, ending in Krakow. Two-three nights each in Zurich, Vienna and Krakow. About 800 leisurely miles in 20-23 biking days. Flying Washington/Dulles to Zurich with the option to train back to Zurich or fly home from Krakow.

Seeking one flexible, amiable, adventuresome cyclist, M/F age 35+, to join me. Interested in photography, historic sites (Auschwitz-Birkenau, etc.) and towns, intelligent conversation, wit and jokes and meeting the locals. I’ve toured all over Europe and a bit in the Middle East and North Africa. We’ll choose our daily routes as we go and stop when and where we feel like it. Accommodations in B&Bs, pensions, Zimmer Frei and guest houses.
